Jan Mlakar has joined Maribor on loan from Pisa, in an agreement that includes an option to buy. This is his third spell with the club. Zlatko Zahović stated that the decision for the club and Jan Mlakar to cooperate again was spontaneous. Mlakar expressed happiness about returning, mentioning his familiarity with the club, players, and environment. The move follows spells for Mlakar at Amiens and Pisa that were noted as unsuccessful.

Jan Mlakar is nearing a return to Maribor. He was most recently at Amiens on loan from Pisa. The deal is nearing finalization and could be officially confirmed soon. Jan Mlakar listened to an offer from Zlatko Zahović, the new sporting director of Maribor.

Jan Mlakar is among Zlatko Zahović's targets, and Maribor has re-emerged as an option for the player. Should Jan Mlakar sign a contract, it would mark his third period with Maribor.

Jan Mlakar, who is currently on loan at Hajduk from Pisa, is being considered as a potential target for Maribor. Mlakar has a notable history with Maribor, having played 79 matches and scored 32 goals for the club, and he has also won a Slovenian championship title with them. As a Slovenian international, he aligns with Maribor's vision of incorporating Slovenian national players into their squad. With Pisa, his parent club, nearing promotion to Serie A, this development might impact his transfer options. Maribor's sports director, Mihael Mikić, stated that the club's strategy is to include at least two Slovenian national team players, emphasizing the importance of having players deeply connected to the club. Mlakar fits this vision well, having made significant contributions to Maribor's past successes and being a current Slovenian international. This approach aligns with Maribor's broader plans to rebuild for the next season as they aim to reclaim their championship status.
